Wordfast Translation Memory¶
The Wordfast format, as used by the Wordfast translation tool, is a simple tab delimited file.
The storage format can read and write Wordfast TM files.
Conformance¶
Escaping -- The format correctly handles Wordfast
&'XX;
escaping and will unescape and escape seamlessly.Soft-breaks -- these are not managed and are left as escaped
Replaceables -- these are not managed
Header -- Only basic updating and reading of the header is implemented
Tab-separated value (TSV) -- the format correctly handles the TSV format used by Wordfast. There is no quoting, Windows newlines are used and the
\t
is used as a delimiter (see issue 472)
